What a way to ruin a good Mickey Mantle signature

Re: What a way to ruin a good Mickey Mantle signature

I just don't get what the big interest is in a card that has a signature cut from postcards, 8x10's, 3x5 cards, etc., and attached to a card of today. Then a few signatures of today's players, and BAM! Now it's worth thousands.

I just don't get it

I quit seriously collecting cards the day I spent $500 at a card store on 2 boxes of product and recieved a Ryan Klesko jersey card - Nick Swisher graph and a (I'll never forget this) a Lino Urdaneta graph..

I put together the Allen and Ginter sets so that my son and I will have a reason to go to shows in the future...but it has gotten way out of control.

I'm the opposite. I think those cut signature cards are amazing. Some of them are really well done. It is kinda strange when they cut a signature off a previous autograph insert. But I like them as chases. The chance to pull a dead Presidents graph out of a pack of cards would be awesome. Allen Ginter stuff is really cool. With all the odd ball stuff in them. You can get a Arod and Bruce Lee card in the same pack.
